I can relate...I am so excited this year because I was able to afford a new guitar and amp for my son for Christmas, plus a rare collectors item from one of his favorite bands. I can't wait to see his face when he gets these things. For myself...I don't really need or want anything. I get myself what I need and if I see something I want I get it when I can afford it. I found it VERY hard to write down a few items I wanted when I was asked...I ended up with a couple of CDs I'd like to have.
